1) Thers a few thumb screws in the trunk take the tail light out, take out the bulb.
2) look at the bulb, make a note of the bulb.
3) Replace the tail light into the car after making a note of the bulb or better yet take it with you to the local car part store.
4) Show them the bulb they will point it out to you.
5) Purchase the new bulb.
6) Remove the tail light again. [See step 1]
7) Replace the bulb with the new one.
8) Verify the new one works.
9) Reinstall the tail light.
10) Verify again that the bulb works.

You may also find the correct one in your OWNERS MANUAL.

Theres usually a little book by the bulb section that tells you which one you'll need.

Go to the sylvania.com website. I think it's a 2057 but I haven't changed my bulbs in over three years. 1157 will probably fit too but I think the 2057 might have a bit more lumens.
